There were a number of hotly contested items on the October 14 election ballot.
One of the more interesting hapenings in the race for Police Jury in Dist. 8. John Remedies was the leading vote getter with 35.66%. Now, both Daniel Procell and Rick Sepulvado came in second at exactly 32.17% each. So, unless one of the candidates drop out, we understand all three will be on the ballot again in the run-off on Nov. 18.
